Malaysia 27 years old vs Singapore 27 years old
No Car - same
No first house - same
No driving license - same
RM2000 Pay - Singapore higher
No boyfriend - same
Feel like dying everyday - same
Mostly same, everyone struggling but the Malaysia 27 years old can consider working in Singapore and buy a property in Malaysia every 10 years.
The Singapore 27 years old can't.

Many non bumis mainly already working in sinkie and earning big bucks. One with petronas scholarship to australia, returned and no opening in petronas maybe because non bumi. So stsrted epwork in sinkie earning $10k now.
Another studied in new zealand fsther mother scholarship in chem eng also no jobs upon return8ng so work in australia earning much much more. Australis, like sinkie, offered PR for entire family with citizenship options. That is why sinkie and aussie are rich, jiu hu is poor.

SINGAPORE -
Mr Gazali Ahmad tried his hand at a series of jobs in sectors including education and finance
before settling behind the wheel of a taxi for six years at age 45.
Feeling unsatisfied and stuck in his career, he decided in March 2021 to enrol in a programme
that promised to train him for a software engineer's role in nine months.
Today, Mr Gazali, 53, is a full-stack developer with a global technology firm and is skilled in several programming languages, making three times what he did while driving.
A full-stack developer is an engineer who can handle all the work involving databases, servers, systems engineering and clients.
Mr Gazali, who is a divorced father of four children aged between 27 and 20, said: "I was always interested in computers but never pursued it formally... But I did not see myself driving until old age, so when this course came up, I told myself, 'why not try'."
The course he enrolled in was run by Generation Singapore, a non-profit organisation that started in Singapore in 2019 and focuses on upskilling.
Its chief executive Prateek Hegde said Generation Singapore focuses on employment - giving people just-in-time training to join organisations and contribute while continuing to learn on the job.
Generation is a global non-profit organisation founded in the United States by consulting firm McKinsey in 2014. The non-profit operates in 17 countries like Brazil, Argentina and India.
In Singapore, it runs training programmes that equip people with skills such as programming or healthcare administration, and puts them on work attachments with companies that have the option of hiring them for full-time roles.
Mr Gazali, who has a diploma in mechanical engineering, joined the bootcamp-style course comprising three months of intensive lessons, followed by a six-month apprenticeship.
He was at first daunted, he said, by all the young people in his course, many of whom were in their 30s.
Mr Gazali said: "Looking around the room at my course mates, I thought they could all be my sons and daughters."
He was also concerned that employers would not consider him for a job due to his age, even if he managed to complete the course.
But he persisted and put in extra time on weekends and after class. Soon, the results started to show, and helped him get a job he finds engaging and rewarding.
Economist Walter Theseira said the labour market puzzle for older workers such as Mr Gazali can be seen as a product of a mismatch between the skills they have and those that employers now require.
Some are missing something from their skill sets or have outdated ones, and would hence benefit from training courses, he added.
Dr Theseira, who is an associate professor at the Singapore University of Social Science, said: "Other than updating skills, training courses also send a signal to employers that a person is able to adapt, which is an important one to send as some people may be able but cannot convince employers to look at them as serious candidates."
For Mr Gazali, his new job means he is able to work from anywhere and with colleagues from around the world.
He said: "Even in 10 years, when I'm 63 and all the technology has changed, I still want to keep up and be involved."

Anwar as PM will make the Malaysian economy thrives again due to his American links. Many Malaysians don't know Anwar has been under Soros payroll for decades. It all started even before the 97 Asian Financial crisis. Soros, Al Gore, Wolfowitz were backing Anwar to depose Mahathir. When the Ringgit was hit hard in 97, Anwar under instructions from his western kakis insisted that Malaysia went along with IMF but Mahathir resisted and pegged the Ringgit to the dollar to prevent currency speculators from further wrecking havoc on the ringgit. Mahathir and Zaim had info Anwar as Financial Minister was working behind the scenes to depose Mahathir and in the midst of having investigations conducted on Mahathir's 2 millionaire sons. Mahathir duly acted and Anwar was gone a year later.
